ALL BUT THE DUsT-Cur usually serene
and dignifed contemporary the Charlotte
Chronicle, appears to be getting desperate
on account of the dust and the lack of
waterworks for its city. In a late issue
we find the following paragraph. 1t says !:
The dust yesterday was most deplorable,
Outrageous 1t is condemned
stock that will require much watering to
Immediately dispose of it, and the sooner
watered the better-fOr our town council.
So we have been singing down this way,
but the tables have turned now, and we
are applying this same language to the
mud. Some process by which little
water might be squeezed out of the late
piles of dust that were everywhere shoe
deep on the streets few days ago, would
he hailed with delight just now. But man
is never satisfied with what he has, it seems.

TOBACCO STORAGE HOUSE.-Ihe GOLD
LEAF is prepared this week to announce
another new enterprise for Henderson, and
one which it thinks will set it a long way
ahead in its prominence and importance
as tobacco market. 1t is large storage
warehouse with capacity for several thous-
and packages. Here tobacco can be stored
instead of putting it into the hands of COM
mission men in other markets, and Ill a
purchase is to visit cur market, look at
samples and he has exactly what he wants.
The advantage of having an establishment
of this kind here is obvious. 1t will be
conducted in the same manner as similar
houses in Richmond and elsewhere, and
we believe to better advantage to both sci
Ter and buyer. Rates of charges for stOr.
age, insurance, inspection, &C., will be
cheaper, and the manufacturers will not be
long in finding that it is to their interest to
look to Henderson direct for their supplies
Another advantage house of this kind
will be to our market is that stock on hand
may thus be concentrated, while at the
fit of the room in their prize factories that
otherwise would be taken up by stock on
hand held here by them. There are now
!, 400 packages of tobacco in the hands OF
our buyers, but manufacturer coming
here to fill a large order would hardly
know it, and if he did it would take him
much longer to make his purchases than he
has time to throw away perhaps. But will
the storage warehouse it would be diff
ferent.
The building is to be 1oox2oo feet, so con
structed as to readily admit of heing en-
larged if necessary. The plans and speci
fications have already been made and worf
is to be commenced at once. The enter
, prise is in the hands of gentlemen will
abundant capital. Score one more fOl

The Future Of Henderson.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF-The future of Hen
derson will be bright. She is destined in
the near future to become place of bust
ness activity and prominence among her
sister towns. No reheoting mind at all
conversant with her history can for mo-
meat doubt her future growth and prosper
ity. Look at her as the great cOmpetOr
in new and gigantic railroad enterprises
now rapidly approaching complexion. Inc
Raleigh & CASTOR railroad has contributed
and is contributing much to her growth
and advancement, giving her an outlet for
her products. The treasures of the East
and South are poured into her lap through
this channel. Nor is this all. The Rich
mond & Danville railroad from Richmond
via Keysville, GAINESVILLE and Oxford will
road via Oxford will also make Hender-
son its terminus. The Raleigh Il Castor
railroad will also construct road from
Henderson to Durham connecting with
their old road here. The Richmond &
Danvtile Company will also extend tn il
road to Nashville or to some other point in
the East. In fact the Richmond & Dan
vile Company have already purchased
lot of land in Henderson. at a cost of S., $50
on which to build fine depot for the re-
ception of freights and for other purposes.
If reports be trne it will be magl!i icent
building worthy of Henderson and the
company.
With her mercantile and banking facil-
tiles increased, as they should be, and the
agricultural product of a sur1 ounding fer
tile country Concentrating in Henderson,
who will say her future will not be pros
p ;rOus? Just think of the cotton that will
be sold here, and the millions of pounds of
the yellow leaf that will be sold in our
warehouses inviting buyers with capital.
Think Of the through freight trains quar-
ter of mile long rushing to and from
Henderson exciting the envy and wonder
of way station sleepers as they pass, and
Gus future before her. Why should she
pause in her rapid strides toward prosper
ity and importance to notice unappreciative
croakers around her? Let her go on adding
house to house, enterprise to enterprise
until in her out spreading beauty and
strength she shall occupy the position she
should occupy. Henderson has too high a
mission to perform in her onward progress
to stop to notice little envious minds that
would Islander and abuse her. Like the
majestic eagle occupying higher eleva-
ton in the sun-lit heavens above she can
afford to look down with Indifference on
nocturn; hooters and croakers beneath.
I must close my sheet is full. May write
more hereafter. Il.

Letter from Zeke YOcuIn.

BULL SKIN BRANCH,
Rowing county, Feb, ~.
LucIFER YocUM, Harpers Ferry,
KY:
Drar Mphr7o:
Your letter, in the last issue Of
the ROUND ,BoUT (the best paper
published in northern Kentucky,
made me very b'rsboherns (tAe
svmd Just coixed). Was sorry to
hear you are compelled to take
morphine and chloroform for your
nervous trouble. I'm in favor Of
Mr.. Cleve'and's reelection, be-
cause Of vetoing the pension bill,
thereby keeping the Yankee
soldiers from filling their pockets
with Democratic gold.
You say that it does your heart
good to see the Yankee farmers
getting a mere pittance for tobacco.
Your uncle would say "amen.
butt hurts Democrats that you
love 10 see the times grow worse
under Democrats rule. Now it
occurs to your uncle that you use
a little ton much to calm your
nerves. Be carcfu! as to size OF
dose in future. my dear boy.
You ask me to stand up for
our party at the State Capt. !.
Would say, in reply, that you
need have no fears as long as Gov.
Knott and Zel>e Yocum are at
the head of affairs in Kentucky.
With Knott to attend to the Cow
Bill and Yocum t" the great Dem
ocrat party in the State. all will be
we'll.
If we don't succeed in carrying
the State the next election, it will
not be the fault Of good legislation.
The State treasury is full and out
of debt. We. the Legislature,
leased the locks and dams of the
Kentucky River Navigation Com.
pany (that cost the toilers of Ken
lucky, by way Of taxation. five
millions of dollars), for ninety
nine years for the magnificent sum
of one thousand five hundred dol
lars per year The company used
the river until worn out, and
passed it over to the Democratic
Legislature utterly worthless. The
general government proposed to
repair it, but we Democrats thought
that Uncle Sam would use the
river by sending troops into Ken
lucky IN case of another rebellion.
The offer was declined until the
President Of the United States
convened the Senate and House,
also his Cabinet, who, by solemn
resolution, promised Kentucky
that no troops should be shipped
by way of the Kentucky river.
We accepted the proposition and
now we have "free trade and
sailors rights and will soon have
roast beef and 81 day, some
thing that every honest Democrat
wants.
The next item Of wise legislation
by us wise Democrats, was the
disposition of Green and Barren
river improvements, that cost the
taxpayers of Kentucky one million
five hundred thousand dollars.
These rivers were leased for term
of years for one thousand FIVE
hundred dollars, to company who
run it until rich, and then sold it
to Uncle Sam Tor one hundred and
fifty thousand. Your uncle does
not understand grammar well
enough to show how much the
State made in the operation.
Suffice it to say. that the members
of the Legislature, and all State
officials. were well paid.
1t is true, my dear Lucifer, that
this trick gave the axpayers the
devil. but it kept up the Demo
cratic party. That you may un-
derstand the whole matter, your
uncle would advise you to read
the life of Mr.. SUIT Lovengood.
You will find similar case on
